so my dissertation arrived in the mail today at my parents' house. I gave my mom strict instructions to simply mail thing to me at my uni address because I wanted to be the first person to look at it.

instead, she called me on my mobile when i got off the bus on the way home from class to tell me that it came. did i still want her to just mail it back? i thought about it.

two seconds later, i asked her to open it up and tell me the mark.

63%. B+ in England.

WHAT THE FUCK!

I asked her to read me the comments. There was about a paragraph my supervisor wrote at the end, but no markings in between. He wrote that it's extremely well-written and well-researched, but there isn't enough empirical evidence.

um.

correct me if I'm wrong, but when you have a supervisor, is he not supposed to tell you what kind of research you're expected to do for your project? and if there are major gaps, he points them out and tells you to fill them in?

This guy never once mentioned anything about any sort of empirical evidence! NOT ONCE!!!! i worked very hard on this thing for a fuckign 63!!!! it's the lowest mark I had last year!!!!

It would be fair enough if there were problems with the writing or even if he said I missed a point of research.. but.. bah.

OH FUCKING WELL.

god i feel ill.

(threw up about 10 times the day before last. yeah.)
